Rain, Rain Go Away We Want (ed) To Play Golf

Weather, can't live with it can't live without it and today
was a prime example of that. All week we've been watching this weather pattern
that was going to bring us some rain today. On Monday it was 65-75 percent
chance of downpour and last night that jumped to 80 percent so right now, we're
in the van and it's raining ... HARD!

Golf is a sport in which you play in the elements and it can
actually really change your game plan. Wet greens, fairways ... water everywhere.
Then add on top of that you have to wear rain gear which is more gear on top of
carrying your bag ... yeah; weather can change a lot in golf.

Speaking of rain gear ... this SID is always prepared for
weather. (I was a Girl Scout, and being prepared was VERY important) I keep
extra shoes, socks, rain gear, umbrellas, everything in my car. You'll never
catch me without the appropriate gear for any type of weather -- until today. I
forgot everything, I mean everything.It's all back in Oxford sitting in my car at the golf course. Luckily, I
brought lots of socks and change of clothes and I got my first piece of women's
golf gear ... a weatherproof hat! (Thanks Coach Drinkard)

So we've spent some time in the van this morning and here
are some of the gems from our time in the Sprinter:

"We may be Landsharks but we thrive in water" - Alison
Hovatter

"I passed a level"
followed by "I need a life" - EVERYONE, playing Candy Crush

Number of Rain Songs we listened to in the delay: TOO MANY
TO COUNT (Apparently rain is a theme in country music, who knew!)

So finally at Noon, today's round was cancelled. We loaded
the Sprinter back up and went back to the hotel where we were greeted by Rebel
fans, ok so it was our families but they really are most important fans anyways.

Speaking of fans, and support, I will say this team's
support is second to none! Lots of fans have read this blog, liked our pictures
on Facebook and Twitter and have just been amazing supporters of Rebel Women's
Golf. It's been super fun to be a part of all this.

When on any road trip the best part, I think, is team dinners
with parents and families included. You find out lots of good stuff at these
dinners and tonight's dinner at Carraba's was no exception.

Needless to say, we laughed A LOT. We talked about Coach
Drinkard's "classic baby picture", Mr. Rubin and Mr. Shiavone gave me a little
grief for being a Lions fan (I've gotta rep the hometown team) and we talked
about Alison Hovatter's LOVE of all things involving head football coach Hugh Freeze.
Pretty sure she can recite the Egg Bowl speech word-for-word. That my friends,
is Rebel Pride!

Sidenote: Micah
Ginn and the Ole Miss video productions team, if you are reading this, we need
to do an episode of "The Season" with the women's golf team. This group would
make GOOD TV. All you need to do is come on a trip with us and you'll have
PLENTY, trust me! #JustSayin

I'm going to close tonight's blog with this little gem:

"I just got a banana to the face" - Joe

See you on the course tomorrow, looking forward to hearing
lots of Hotty Toddy's!

It's great to be a Rebel fan. Coach Freeze
Has brought back the excitement
Competitiveness we all so desire. The
fan base and even our doubters are
Paying attention. Even the whole country
Sport tLk shows ect. Are taking notice.
After we upset Alabama this weekend
38-27 we will bolt to a top 12 or better
Ranking. Go Rebels

I am not and never have been an Ole Miss fan. I am however a Coach Freeze fan. I like what he represents in today's world of big time sports and what he stands for in leading young men of today into a more responsible role. He is everything that Ole Miss has never had. I am on his band wagon winning or losing.
